Burundi refugees killed in clashes with Congo forces

19/09/2017

More than 400,000 refugees have fled Burundi - including 40,000 to neighbouring Congo - since violence erupted in April 2015 when President Pierre Nkurunziza said he would seek a third term in office, a move his opponents said was unconstitutional.

In total, according to the latest information, around 37 people were killed (36 Burundian and one member of the armed forces) and between 117 and 134 people were injured. In the current situation, solutions need to be found quickly for the protection of the Burundian refugees.

The U.N. envoy called for a swift investigation and urged Congo's security forces to use force as a last resort.

Eyewitness Alfred Rukungo said the soldiers continued shooting into the crowd even after some refugees were wounded.

Congo's government says it is opening an investigation to establish the facts and true identity of the "supposed refugees", spokesman Lambert Mende said.
